CUYAHOGA FALLS - John B. Chambers, 45, passed away on September 2, 2015. He was born in Fort Walton Beach, Florida on October 8, 1969 to Gail (Brady) and Robert J. Lunsford III.
He was preceded in death by grandparents Ruth and John P. Brady, his step-fathers David J. Chambers and Gary P. Howard. Also, Uncle Sam Olds. They were significant role models in John's life.
John left the sight of his precious daughter, Kayla D. Chambers and (Michael Ambrose), his beloved son, Cody L. Chambers and (Niquell Henry) and his grandson, Brayden Chambers. Poppa and Brayden (Bubbi), had smiles for each other that lit up the room. If Poppa was in sight no one else mattered. Jenny (Smerk), (Chambers) Hagan, Kayla and Cody's Mother, was a partner and lifelong best friend of John's.
Mom, Gail (Brady) Howard and Dad, Robert J. Lunsford III, are devastated, shocked and numb with grief. We will hold John in our hearts until we meet again. It was a joy being with the good man that John had become. He was a kind and gentle soul. He was wise, generous, intelligent and he marched to the beat of his own drum. He was a man who believed in God and had a strong, spiritual faith. "It's all good", "don't worry", "it will work out", and his favorite "WTF".
John also leaves behind his brothers and their families Robert J. Chambers and (Leslie Nicole Chambers), and their son Jack R. Chambers. Kevin D. Chambers and his daughters Shannon R. Chambers and Sarah R. Chambers. There are no words to express their loss. Robb, John and Kevin that's the way it will always be.
Mitzi Moore was the love of John's life, no one had ever seen John as happy as he had been since he met and fell in love with her. She will always be a part of our family. Dave Orris has been John's lifelong friend. They were there for each other always. We have asked Dave to ride John's motorcycle to the funeral home. This will make John smile.
He will be missed by Kayla and Cody's stepbrother, Jake Hagen and their cousins Aishia Gongaware and (Alex Neidert), Dalton and Krystie Gongaware, their step-brothers Nicholas and Mitchell Bray.
Mourning his passing are many Aunts, Uncles and cousins.
